Candy Stripe Creeping Phlox (Phlox subulata ‘Candy Stripe’)

Candy Stripe Creeping Phlox (Phlox subulata ‘Candy Stripe’)

Candy Stripe Creeping Phlox is a low-growing perennial valued for its soft pink and white striped blooms and dense, spreading habit. This cultivar of Phlox subulata creates a vibrant carpet of colour early in the season.

This herbaceous perennial forms a mat of fine, needle-like evergreen foliage. In early to mid-spring, it becomes covered in masses of small, star-shaped flowers with pink centres and white edges, creating a striped effect. The blooms attract pollinators such as bees and provide one of the earliest bursts of colour in the garden.

Candy Stripe Creeping Phlox is well-suited for groundcover, rock gardens, slopes, and border edging. Its spreading habit makes it ideal for filling spaces, cascading over walls, and softening landscape edges.

Sun Requirements ▾

Full sun. Provide at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day for dense growth and abundant spring flowering. Light partial shade can be tolerated, but plants grown with insufficient sunlight may flower less heavily and develop a looser habit.

Watering Instructions ▾

Low to moderate. Water regularly during the first growing season while plants establish their root systems. Once established, Candy Stripe Creeping Phlox has good drought tolerance. Allow the soil to dry somewhat between waterings and avoid consistently wet or waterlogged conditions.

Care Tips ▾

Lightly shear plants after the main spring flowering period to remove faded blooms, encourage dense new growth, and maintain a neat appearance. Avoid excessive fertilizer, which can promote loose foliage at the expense of flowering. Good drainage is especially important for healthy growth and successful overwintering. A moisture meter is a great way to gauge your plant's moisture levels.
